Shelley China

Flea Market Finds With The Kovels : Episode FMF-207 -- More Projects »

Collectibles experts Terry and Ralph Kovel learn about Shelley china at the J&J Flea Market in Brimfield, Mass. Today, a Shelley coffeepot can cost up to $300 if it's in mint condition. So, if you have your mother's Shelley china tucked away in a closet, it's worth hanging onto because it's only going to increase in value. Remember, it's best not to wash older china pieces in a dishwasher, especially if those pieces have gold trim.

The Shelley name first appeared on English ceramics by Wileman and Co. around 1910, but the Shelley family had been making pottery as far back as the mid-1700s for other factories.

The Shelley Pottery company started in 1925 and continued marking pieces with the Shelley name. Today, they're collectible because of the quality and design.

This Shelley plate has a $37.50 price tag because it's in good condition.

The Violet pattern is very popular. Demand drives its price up to $150 for a three-piece set such as the one seen here.

The Queen Anne Cottage pattern is even more desirable. This set is valued at $190.

These beautiful coffeepots that once sold for around $10 each now go for up to $300 each because they're hard to find and are in mint condition.
